A-League Tips Round 25

By
Brisbane v Central Coast – (Sat 5:35pm)Two points dropped is how the Roar will view their draw with Wellington last week. They failed to produce in a match which had huge finals implications for them. They would have penciled in 6 points for the two games against the cellar dwellers making this one all the more important. The Roar do have the advantage of facing a dejected Mariners side. They were set to take yet another point of the league leaders but conceded with virtually the last kick of the game. Recovering from that will not be easy and The Wolf says that we could see Brisbane get the jump on them early as a result. They are undefeated in their last 11 against the Mariners – a stretch that included 9 wins. They will be extending their unbeaten run thanks to a dominant win.
Best Bet: HT/FT – Brisbane/Brisbane ($2.45)
Value Bet: Time of 1st Brisbane Goal – Up to 15th minute ($4.00)
Melbourne Victory v Western Sydney – (Sat 7:50pm)Somehow the Wanderers are clinging onto 6th spot. They have won just 1 of their last 5 and were humbled at AAMI Park last week by Melbourne City. The Wolf is perplexed with the Wanderers and finds it hard to believe that the midfield of Bonevacia, Vejudo and Lustica can get consistently outplayed. There is a real lack of pace in the Wanderers midfield and they are one of the slowest teams when it comes to moving the ball. It leaves them vulnerable against a Victory side which has speed to burn on the wings thanks to Barbarouses and Leroy George. Melbourne are undefeated in the last 7 clashes and have maintained 5 cleans sheets in their last 6 against the Wanderers. The Wolf has eyes for only one team. Victory to make a statement!
Best Bet: Melbourne Victory WIN ($1.66)
Value Bet: Win Both Halves – Melbourne Vic ($3.75)
Newcastle v Melbourne City – (Sun 5:00pm)We knew that the Jets would not be the same without Nabbout and with Petratos away on International duty, there is now no doubt that the pair were the driving force behind their success this season. The Wolf now has grave concerns over their ability to deal with potential injuries come finals time. City seem to have found themselves defensively and with Fornaroli now back to full fitness they are a completely difference proposition for their opponents. The Uruguayan attracts multiple defenders which basically creates and extra number for his side in midfield. We have seen more of Bozanic and Mauk as a result which is a great sign for City fans. The Overs is 10-0 in the last 10 A-League meetings between the two sides with 40 goals in that stretch! We will be backing goals and plenty of them.
Best Bet: Over 2.5 goals ($1.70)
Value Bet: Over 3.5 goals ($3.00)

Atletico Madrid v Borussia Dortmund: In-form Germans will score again

By
Atletico Madrid  1.84  v Borussia Dortmund  5.10 ; The Draw  3.75 Tuesday 6 November, 20:00 Live on BT Sport Extra Borussia mark themselves out as contenders with Atletico thumping The reverse fixture produced one of the shock results in the last round of  Champions League  games, as Borussia Dortmund thrashed Atletico Madrid 4-0 at home. Dortmund's margin of victory against such an experienced European outfit, famed for their defensive solidity, was a major show of intent and marks them out as real contenders to win the competition.

Lucien Favre's  side are now four points clear at the top of the Bundesliga, which is the same number that currently separates Atletico Madrid from the La Liga leaders Barcelona.

Eintracht Frankfurt v Borussia Dortmund: Eagles to build a wall in Berlin

By
Eintracht Frankfurt v Borussia Dortmund Saturday 27 May, 19:00 Live on BT Sport ESPN Eintracht Frankfurt This time last season, Eintracht Frankfurt were  fighting for survival  in a Bundesliga playoff against second-tier side Nurnberg. Fast forward a year, and they are preparing for their first major cup final since 2006, having finished well clear of relegation trouble this term. Having steered the Eagles through that playoff against Nurnberg, coach  Niko Kovac  set about galvanising not just the squad, but the entire club. Working with sporting director Bruno Hubner and former Germany striker Fredi Bobic,  Kovac has injected new life into an organisation that was drifting. Youngsters like defender  Jesus Vallejo  and forward Ante Rebic have been brought in on loan to good effect, and astute pickups like holding midfielder Omar Mascarell and forward Branimir Hrgota have become effective cogs in the machine. Although Frankfurt have twice...

Real Madrid v Plzen: Back hosts' scoring struggles to continue

By
Real Madrid  1.09  v Plzen  40.00 ; The Draw  15.00 Tuesday 23 October, 20:00 Live on BT Sport ESPN Lopetegui on brink as Madrid malaise continues Ordinarily this match would almost be guaranteed to be a routine home win that had the potential to be embarrassing for the visitors, but these are not ordinary times at  Real Madrid . The Spanish giants are now without a win in their last five games (D1 L4), after losing 2-1 at home to Levante at the weekend.  Marcelo's  72nd minute goal broke a painful spell of 481 accumulated minutes without a goal. Unsurprisingly,  Julen Lopetegui  is under huge pressure and it would be no surprise if he were sacked before this match takes place on Tuesday. If he survives the game and it's aftermath, then Sunday's El Clasico could finish him off. Despite Real's abject form, it would still be a massive shock if they failed to beat Viktoria Plzen, who were thrashed 5-0 by Roma in their most recent...
